Bill Hensen

I am slightly disturbed about how attracted I am to the Lolita-esque photographs of Bill Hensen. His subjects look like feral creatures straight of the pages of Lord of the Flies or any fantasy novel. I love how the shadows seem to take on their own personality and become the extra person in every photograph.  His blurred imagery drips with eroticism and makes you question your own sexual appetite. It is all so deliciously sinful.

I just read in the paper that Cate Blanchett is worried about Australia's overseas reputation!

I can't see how something being labelled as ART makes taking naked photos of children, but if it's posted on the internet it's pornography!!

I think someone is pulling the wool over their eyes. A case of the Emperor's new clothes

These images are in no way exploiting children or of a pornographic nature.The narow minded critics should find something else to do with their time rather than bag out a tasteful and respected artist and his works.If nude images of underage children were pornographic then most parents in the developed world would be guilty of possesing child porn!The models aren't being exploited and this is the basis of anti child pornography laws.The critics are trying to force their own opnions and veiws without a shred of fairness or open mindness. Get a life!!!

Shiny, I appreciate Mr Hensen having seen his exhibitions before. However, your remarks make something so beautiful very trashy and ugly. If it's not porn to you then why are you getting off on it?
Ugh.
